In Russia, taxi drivers complained about the quality of Chinese machines and spare parts

According to Kommersant, the number of taxi repairs in 2024 doubled. The Taxist union believes that the average mileage of the car between large repairs has declined from 250 to 150 thousand kilometers. The general director of the Ivitech taxiopark said that with the transition from Kia and Skoda to the “Chinese” cases of replacing the units, and the details “as if they have less wear resistance”.

The taxi are preoccupied with the quality of the spare parts. The head of the chain of stores of auto parts K-Group shared that there are no problems to find certain components, but there is a problem to check the quality. This is true even for assemblies assembly, for example, engines. Taxi drivers also complain that delivery from China takes three to four weeks, and this time the car is idle.

Large taxi parking can afford to order spare parts in bulk and have stocks. Some car services that serve a taxi strongly save on details, which does not help increase the resource. Most of the “Chinese” problems begin to arise at 100-150 thousand on the odometer. At the same time, in the Moscow region, a taxi is relatively fresh: in the capital, the average age is three years and two months, in the region – four years and seven months.

Six months ago, taxi drivers already complained about the quality of Chinese cars, comparing them with the “Koreans”. Variators are most of the problems: unaccounted transmissions fail with relatively small runs.
